I have been asked to reply.
With regards to National Rail, London Underground, Docklands Light Railway and Croydon Tramlink, this information is held by the British Transport Police who can be contacted at:
British Transport Police,
25 Camden Road,
London,
NW1 9LN
Email: parliament@btp.pnn.police.uk
Incidents on other public transport in London are dealt with by the Metropolitan Police and not the British Transport Police.

So the Government don't know. Astonishing!
You'd think, with their multitudes of policies which penalise the motorist and their stated desire to get more people to travel by public transport, that they would have a handle on this sort of thing.
But what, exactly, has this government got a handle on?
